Health Physics Support, through an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), and in cooperation with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), provides health physics technical assistance, assessment and surveillance at U.S. DOE's Mound, Fernald and Portsmouth facilities. Technical Support evaluates the cleanup activities to ensure these sites meet Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 3748 requirements.

Through a grant from the U.S. DOE through the Ohio EPA, staff provides health physics technical assistance for the cleanup of radioactive materials at Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) sites.
